lyrics

You and I are two sides of the same coin
Heads and tails, so close that we never can face
And I knew it; I tried to sleep through it
But woke to find the problem in exactly the same place

Because I’ve tallied up lean years and vague fears, the leers and the catcalls
Their sum is the city that’s turning me mean
All rat poison, gas leaks, the chain and the deadbolt,
Blue lights at the corner, and a murder scene

And if I were sorry, I’d write you a love song
Like these people all want to hear
And I could, because I’ve studied the postures
I never got one wrong till now
And it’s given me away entirely, I fear

On the long bus ride home from the Gold Coast I draft my confession
Though I know I’ll lose heart and just throw it away
The same way I’ve done with everyone
Who swore I could not be as cruel as I say

My reluctance it clashes with sackcloth and ashes
But each winter, which one do you think keeps me warm?
When you were just a New Year’s resolution
I could never stick to, and left only half-formed

And now I’d sell my life story for a small cup of coffee
If I could cross out the parts I don’t like
And I would: I would leave it so boring
That you never would want me at all
Just keep erasing till I prove myself right
